About Janet
Janet Bellis is a psychotherapist who uses a pluralistic, flexible approach to therapy. She works in an approachable way, helping people sort through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and other difficult emotions. She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Counselling and is accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, listed as NCPS.
Janet draws on a range of methods rather than one fixed model. She mixes person-centred conversation with problem-solving strategies and some hypnotherapeutic elements to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what is holding someone back and to build practical steps forward. Her practice covers many common concerns including depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviours, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting stress and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, body image and caregiver stress.
She has five years of experience and has worked with clients through a major UK mental health charity. That work gave experience with a wide range of backgrounds and nationalities, and she pays attention to each person’s cultural and personal context. Janet offers a warm, non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and supported.
Therapy aims to build insight, emotional resilience and practical skills that help in everyday life.

How Janet works online
Finding the right approach is part of how she works. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then agree together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Her biography lists sessions by video, phone or chat, so please confirm which formats are offered when you book. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel, allowing evening appointments, or offering shorter check-ins by phone or chat when time is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit the online setting, helping people practise new skills between sessions.
